can be any length. Kids often say things that are profound, hilarious, silly,

as long as they are related to breastfeeding in a positive way, and you have
permission to share the quote.

between 300 and 800 words. The NMN is very interested in reading your well-written
review of any product you've used related to breastfeeding. This includes
reviews of books, bras, breast pads, places of business, pumps, websites,
magazines, nursing clothing, and anything related to breastfeeding a child
in any way. You must review something you yourself actually used or read,
and you must provide source information about your product.

accept original artwork and photography. Images cannot be included
in the ezine itself, because it is sent out in plain text. Instead, a link
leading to the image stored on this server will be included in the ezine.
All artwork and photography must be original, created by you, and must portray
breastfeeding an infant, baby, or child. Tandem nursing artwork and photography
is also accepted, and encouraged. No sexual content will be accepted, in
any way. All artwork and photography must be tasteful. Please query before
sending the artwork or photograph, and include a description of the piece,
the exact size, resolution, format, and dimensions. All unsolicited attachments
will be deleted. All artwork and photography must be in .jpg, .jpeg, .gif,
or .mix format.

NMN is a non paying
